mkdir command
Hi all, i am new to Linux and need some help.
I used the command: mkdir super
Directory super is created
When i try to change to this directory using: cd /super
I get: bash: cd: /super: No such file or directory
when i use: rm super
I get: rm: cannot remove 'super': Is a directory
What could be the problem?

chflags
CHFLAGS(1) BSD General Commands Manual CHFLAGS(1)
NAME
chflags -- change file flags
SYNOPSIS
chflags [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] flags file ...
DESCRIPTION
The chflags utility modifies the file flags of the listed files as specified by the flags operand.
The options are as follows:
-f Do not display a diagnostic message if chflags could not modify the flags for file, nor modify the exit status to reflect such fail-
ures.
-H If the -R option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed. (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal
are not followed.)
-h If the file is a symbolic link, change the file flags of the link itself rather than the file to which it points.
-L If the -R option is specified, all symbolic links are followed.
-P If the -R option is specified, no symbolic links are followed. This is the default.
-R Change the file flags for the file hierarchies rooted in the files instead of just the files themselves.
-v Cause chflags to be verbose, showing filenames as the flags are modified. If the -v option is specified more than once, the old and
new flags of the file will also be printed, in octal notation.
The flags are specified as an octal number or a comma separated list of keywords. The following keywords are currently defined:
arch, archived
set the archived flag (super-user only)
opaque set the opaque flag (owner or super-user only). [Directory is opaque when viewed through a union mount]
nodump set the nodump flag (owner or super-user only)
sappnd, sappend
set the system append-only flag (super-user only)
schg, schange, simmutable
set the system immutable flag (super-user only)
uappnd, uappend
set the user append-only flag (owner or super-user only)
uchg, uchange, uimmutable
set the user immutable flag (owner or super-user only)
hidden set the hidden flag [Hide item from GUI]
As discussed in chflags(2), the sappnd and schg flags may only be unset when the system is in single-user mode.
Putting the letters ``no'' before or removing the letters ``no'' from a keyword causes the flag to be cleared. For example:
nouchg clear the user immutable flag (owner or super-user only)
dump clear the nodump flag (owner or super-user only)
Unless the -H or -L options are given, chflags on a symbolic link always succeeds and has no effect. The -H, -L and -P options are ignored
unless the -R option is specified. In addition, these options override each other and the command's actions are determined by the last one
specified.
You can use "ls -lO" to see the flags of existing files.
EXIT STATUS
The chflags utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
ls(1), chflags(2), stat(2), fts(3), symlink(7)
HISTORY
The chflags command first appeared in 4.4BSD.
BUGS
Only a limited number of utilities are chflags aware. Some of these tools include ls(1), cp(1), find(1), install(1), dump(8), and
restore(8). In particular a tool which is not currently chflags aware is the pax(1) utility.
